[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 712694, member: 1780"] Those are awesome, definitely going to look into those. I am still torn on size. Wife wants a storage room as part of the shop we build, so if I built a 30x40, she would get 10x30 on the left side of it, leaving me with only a 30x30. If we built 40x40, she would get 10x40 and me 30x40. I would also love to do a lean-to on concrete, but at an already 40' wide shop (depth is to be decided 30 or 40), another 10-12' for a lean to is getting fairly wide for the location it will be built in the yard. Lean-to is optional and probably will not happen if I had to guess. I would also like to save money if I could get by with just a 30x40 (30x30) for me, as the difference in a steel building 30x40 vs. 40x40 is somewhere around $6k....but I keep telling myself that in the long run the extra $6k will be worth it to have plenty extra room instead of being full in a couple years and me being pissed that I didn't go bigger when trying to be a cheapass on the build. I am out on pole barn all together, I want to build a building that will outlive me, otherwise I could build a 40x40 pole barn for as much or less than a 30x40 steel beam and purlin building like Jducks. I need to get out in the yard, measure off some corners and spray paint some markings to see just how much room I have. I am limited by trees and property lines. All kinds of room on the other side of the house, but I want the shop on the driveway/common side of the house. I have pondered (if I could get by with 50' wide) not doing a lean-to and building a 30x50, but you get more sq ft out of a square building (1500 sq ft for 30x50 vs. 1600 sq ft for 40x40) and the price difference would probably be minimal at that point. Anything over 25' span requires the heavy duty (more costly) beams, otherwise it could just be fabricated purely out of purlins like my old shop was (20x24). I need to just say fawk it and do a 40x40, but I can't make a decision 100% until I decide there absolutely is no better, cheaper, more efficient way of doing it. I'm pretty sure a 40x40 would be perfect, although for how I want to build her storage room, a 30x50 has it's perks for a couple different reasons.
